Accenture and Faurecia are collaborating on driver safety development.

Developed at Faurecia's Digital Service Factory with the support of Accenture Industry X.0, the Connected Car Lab leverages Affectiva's Automotive AI to monitor emotional and cognitive states of the driver and other passengers from facial and vocal expressions.

The Connected Car Lab features a connected vehicle platform that gathers data about driver behaviour and conditions inside the car cabin as well as outside the vehicle.

By using artificial intelligence and other technologies, including integrated smart sensors, wearables and in-car video cameras, the data is used to detect and assist the driver with safety issues, such as drowsiness, attention, posture discomfort and temperature.
